ActiveX controls in Word 2007
Hi
I'm unable to understand the exact functionality of ActiveX controls in the Legacy tools in the Controls group in Word 2007.Word help is not of much help.I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me with links to information on ActiveX controls ActiveX controls are actually the same controls used in VBA UserForms (and were developed for this purpose). Back in Office 97, Excel and Word files were enabled to accept these, the idea being they could be used instead of form fields. In practice, they turned out to be of limited use for a number of reasons. Among other things, they - trigger macro security - have display problems when the screen is scrolled - don't always print correctly So there isn't really a lot of information available on using ActiveX controls in Word. What kinds of things are you interested in doing with them?
